Olisin monta kokemusta ja taitoa k\u00f6yhempi. On aivan vaikeaa kuvitella el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4 ilman niit\u00e4 rakkaita, mahtavia ja inspiroivia ihmisi\u00e4 joita olen t\u00e4m\u00e4n harrastuksen parissa tavannut. Enk\u00e4 taatusti olisi tarttunut mink\u00e4\u00e4nlaiseen k\u00e4sity\u00f6vehkeeseen ilman keskiaikaa, vaan antaisin edelleen kouluk\u00e4ss\u00e4n traumaattisuuden painaa. Kauhistus.<\/p>\n<p>Vuoden viimeisen tapahtuman j\u00e4lkeen p\u00e4\u00e4tin vuosihuoltaa varusteita.<\/p>\n<p>Puuastioille \u00f6ljy\u00e4, kengille ja nahkapulloille vahaa ja niin edesp\u00e4in.<\/p>\n<p>Lis\u00e4ksi hakkasin lyhdyn pohjalta noin kolme sentti\u00e4 mehil\u00e4isvahaa ja steariinia. Plussapuolena on, ett\u00e4 lyhty on taas k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kelpoinen. Miinuksena se, ett\u00e4 olen kyyn\u00e4rp\u00e4\u00e4h\u00e4n asti noessa. Ensi vuodelle lupaan, etten tosiaan en\u00e4\u00e4 ikin\u00e4 anna kynttil\u00e4n l\u00f6r\u00f6tt\u00e4\u00e4 lyhtyyn. N\u00e4kis vaan.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>And that was the last event for this year: candlelight, great food, mulled wine, shopping, excellent company, even some dancing and definately too much needlebinding (from my shouders&#8217; point of view anyway).\u00c2\u00a0 There was also quite the bit of going down memory lane, since this event marked my fifteenth year with this hobby.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I&#8217;d never gotten into living history. I&#8217;d spend more weekends at home, maybe work even more than I do now. I&#8217;d have more space in my cupboards, basement and bookcase. I&#8217;d lack many experiences and skills. Most of all, it&#8217;s almost impossible to think of life without all the dear, important and inspiring people I&#8217;ve met in this hobby. And I probably also would not have picked up any kind of handicraft, being too traumatized by my history of handicrafts failures a school. How awful would that be?<br \/>\nAfter the event, I gave my gear a little tender loving care.<\/p>\n<p>I waxed my shoes, my leather bottle, oiled my wooden dishes etc.<\/p>\n<p>I also chiseled about 3 cms of beeswax, stearin and soot from my lantern. On the plus side, I can use the lantern again. The drawback is I now have soot up to my elbow. An early promise for the new year: never letting the candle bleed into the lantern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u00e4m\u00e4n vuoden el\u00e4v\u00f6itykset on nyt el\u00e4v\u00f6itetty.
